For the past several decades, I have put together my list of my favorite sports moments along with some thoughts, and people read them and think, “My, what a pleasant collection of thoughts on moments that we all watched earlier this year and didn’t really need to recap.” But this year I decided to do things a little differently, as I thought we’d look closer at the actual athletes who provided us some of the biggest SPORTS moments and SPORTS photos that we’ve seen this year and, in some cases, in all of our lives and the history of the world, Part I and II.

From that guy who did the things with the ball and the shoes and the SPORTS to that other guy or girl who did the thing and the people were like, “WHOOOOOOOOA!” and made GIFs of it and reblogged it on their Tumblrs, 2013 was arguably the greatest year in the history of SPORTS. Without further ado, here is my list of sports people who did things and took good photos in the name of sports.
